Shirin Aliabadi, a multidisciplinary artist known for her images of young Iranian women, died in her native Tehran on Monday (1 October), her gallery in Dubai announced.

In the documentary photographs comprising Girls in Cars, Iranian girls and women (dolled up and adhering to the mandatory Islamic dress code as minimally as possible) are captured while riding in cars in nights out on the town or possibly headed to house parties. 

In Miss Hybrid, the artist elaborated on the private-public dichotomy through photographs presenting the modern Iranian woman, complete with peroxide blonde hair, a bandage indicating a nose job (a sign of wealth and status) and, in some cases, a fake tan and lapdog. 

As with the subjects of Girls in Cars, the urge of Aliabadi’s Westernised women to engage in what she called “passive rebellion” against state-imposed morality is palpable.

Forests are some of the most valuable ecosystems on our planet. They make up one-third of the Earth's total landmass, and they provide shelter for millions of different organisms while offering numerous benefits to humans. They generate oxygen, serve as a sink for carbon dioxide, regulate precipitation, and ensure the existence of biological diversity; therefore, without the forests, our planet could never survive.

However, not only do the forests contribute to the environmental health of the Earth. They have numerous other benefits. They protect water supplies, nourish the soil, and function as a shield against floods and erosion. In addition, the forests also represent a habitat for various forms of life, allowing people to spend leisure time there while educating themselves about nature.

Forest Nation’s objective is that of maintaining nature through sustainable development and environmental conservation. By developing greenery along with the modern lifestyle through the cultivation of trees, Forest Nation helps maintain the environment. The mission of Forest Nation is to restore ecological balance while ensuring that people choose to adopt a way of life where nature is respected.

With increasing environmental issues, forest conservation must become an important global concern. By implementing conservation practices along with sustainable use of the land, we will be able to preserve the future of our forests.
